Burton firm is expanding

A Burton-based company, whose products have been used on recent building work at Repton School and Derby County’s Moor Farm training ground, is looking to recruit a new trade counter sales representative.

Tradefix Building Plastics, which is based on Sovereign Business Park, Hawkins Lane, was founded just 14 months ago by friends Glenn Wadsley and Chris Holton.

They have a wealth of experience in the building trade but saw a gap in the market for selling quality products – such as soffits, facias, composite decking, bathrooms, drainage solutions, windows and doors – with a personal touch. They also sell various building essentials over the counter, including drill bits, screws and tape measures.

Glenn, who has 22 years’ experience in the building trade, and business partner Chris, a former plumber, are proud to be ‘hands-on’ with their clients and believe that’s what makes them unique.

They sell their products to both trade and the public.

“We understand that we have long-standing competition in this area but we believe our products are the best available on the market,” said Glenn.

“Our prices are very competitive and we will beat any like for like prices. The feedback we’re getting from people who are trying our products has been very positive and we’re getting lots of repeat customers.

“Chris and I have previous experience in the building trade, so our product knowledge is very good and we have both been able to visit sites and measure up for customers, offering advice.

“We also offer a free delivery service to customers within a 20-mile radius, a new build window measuring service free of charge and great account rates. Plus, 10% discount on all first orders.”

The team at Tradefix is now looking for a trade sales counter representative, so that Glenn and Chris can spend more time out on site.

“We are looking for someone to help drive our business forward by actively searching and contacting new clients and introducing them to our business,” said Chris.

“Ideally we’d like someone local to where we are based, who is motivated and has a good sales technique.

“Knowledge of the materials and products we sell would be an advantage but being able to drive the business forward is key.”
